A lunar eclipse is when the moon passes through the earth’s shadow and unlike a solar eclipse it can last for hours. The duration of a lunar eclipse gives people a longer window of time to see it. For people in the Cochrane area, the timetable is as follows: 2:09 am the partial eclipse begins 3:16 am total eclipse begins 3:59 am average eclipse 4:42 am The total eclipse ends At 5:49 AM, the partial eclipse ends The forecast calls for possible disturbances early Tuesday morning, but hopefully there will be a break in the clouds to see the event.
